    Whatever fits an agenda.

      99% sure that chassis that is sitting back at the shop has been completely tore down and every part replaced. I would imagine it does look brand new.

        I'm sure parts have been replaced. No one is arguing that isn't true.

          I believe mark is referencing the chassis. Not the parts mainly the fact that it is not bent or cracked. Pre xr1 cars rocket cars usually had some cracks before 175 starts

            No one wants to acknowledge that part. The chassis has 175 starts not the entire car rolling minus the drive line. lol

              My take away was we were talking about the chassis. When you have to put the j bar mount back in the car and other structural pieces, it's been rebuilt. It's not the same as new. I can do that to a 1990 Rayburn .JKing24 gets the meat of the story. That narrative is used to tell people the car will last. It isn't a new piece every 8 weeks Disco car.

                Looking at the Black Diamond parts list last year looks like they were using Mastersbilt S7 spindles on their cars...

                      Lol. Every dam time someone brings up the Rocket house car and how it has XYZ races on it, you gotta chime in with some (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ty comment because it’s the Rocket Devil.

                      If you’d have not had the track record you do of always bitching about Rocket, I wouldn’t have assumed you miraculously grew some sense when it came to Rocket. But I guess you have. And pretty much anyone on here can vouch for your full blown chubby for Rocket.

                          The chassis got whacked. That is what I was talking about. You guys dove off the bridge to argue with me. I found it all funny that you would even think I am talking about body damage. I'm not Ben Shelton.

                            I was being a smart a$$, now you’re going to act like at every chance you get you don’t whine about Rocket. Jesus, do people read what they type, or forget they typed it and it’s there for us all to see.
